Nice twist on all the classic "don't spill, don't rock, don't break" games. Aladdin's Flying Carpet is well made and engaging. Feeling for the hidden treasures and piling them on strategically is a fun challenge for kids and parents. Not to mention, the potentially plummeting carpet builds anticipation and results in a good laugh each round.

The Essentials
Race to create your pizza creation before the clock runs out! The Flying Carpet Game is a fun twist on those classic games that emphasize “don’t rock, don’t break, don’t spill.” Players take turns adding treasures to the carpet, being very careful not to overload the carpet and send it plummeting down! The person that knocks the carpet down loses the round.
The “hidden treasures” are stored in a nice bag, so players reach in and have to “blindly” choose the item they have to add to the carpet. Watch out though — if your treasure falls, you have to put it back on and you have to take another turn!
This game helps build the skills of turn taking, hand skills, introduction to strategic thinking/cause-effect, use of control during eye-hand tasks.
Fun Factor
This game is fun for kids and their parents enjoy this game as well. It is engaging and if the challenge level is set “just right” for the players, kid consultants and parents report enjoying multiple rounds. Kids often ask to play this game again
Kid consultants, parents, and the panel of experts recommend this game for quick play on game nights, play dates, and repeat play.
Set-Up and Clean-Up
Set-up, clean-up, and storage of this game is relatively easy. The instructions are good and took just a few minutes to set it up initially. The bag for the treasures is well made.
The IF-THEN’S and the BUT’S
Be sure not to break the string when unpacking the game initially (there is extra string if it were to break over time). For skilled players you must increase the distance between the carpet and the top, to keep it challenging and faster paced.
There are small pieces, that could be a choking hazard to children under 3 years old or children who mouth/chew-on non-edible objects.
